Write a real life situation to the problem 8(x+9)=144.
A teacher wants to divide $144 equally among a group of students in her class. She uses the equation 8(x+9) = 144 to solve for the unknown number of students, represented by 'x'.
The equation represents the volume of money each student will receive, where x represents the number of students. The term (x+9) accounts for an additional $9 that the teacher will distribute equally among the students. The equation states that multiplying $8 by the sum of the number of students and 9 will give a total of $144, which is the amount the teacher has available.
By solving the equation, the teacher can determine the unknown value of x, which represents the number of students in the class.
